Arkansas Willing to Offer Kiffin $10 mil per Year for Entire Coaching Staff

[ShotgunDawg]

Just now the Arkansas beat writer said that Arkansas has offered Kiffin $10 mil per year for his him & his coaching staff.

With 1 head coach & 10 assistants

That would allow Kiffin to take

5 mil
OC - 1 mil
DC - 1 mil
3 million left over for 8 position coaches at an average of $375K per year.

Will OM match that?

[deadheaddawg]

That would not leave ole miss much money for recruits

They certainly could... The sum of their next 2 SEC welfare checks is gonna approach $100 Mil...

Any SEC school can "afford" about "any" coach... "Optics" could be an issue in some places...

[Dawg-gone-dawgs]

can they?

You have to understand MS law to make that statement. The max any public official can make in MS is like 300k. The rest has to come from alumni associations.

This.

Facilities & most staffing can be paid off of the SEC funds, but anything above $300k has to be paid privately

Most facilities have to paid with private dollars also.

So, couldn't said alumni associations reallocate funds (to a coaching staff) that would normally go to Facilities, etc and displace them with the SEC money...

If ACC/FIN analytics taught me anything, it's that there's always "a way"... That being said, I'm not savvy in matters of MS Gov't Employee Compensation Legislation...

I'm not sure about that.

Why?

Yes. The SEC money certainly helps A LOT

Just saying that it's not certain that OM can pay all of Luke's buyout while also paying Kiffin's staff 10 mil a year

I'm don't think Kiffin is even worth that. I think you could get equal or better production with someone making far less than that

State Law.

If I was Kiffen, I'd jump at that offer. It's pretty generous.

[msbulldog]

Hope he does I'd rather him be at UA instead of mississippi.

[TUSK]

State Law.

Yup, I don't know if it's still the case, but, at one time, less than $1 Mil of Saban's $7-11 Mil Salary was paid by the school/state... The rest was donations, talent fees, etc...

This is not going to end well for whoever hires him.

My favorite Bear quote, when asked why Football coaches got paid so much more than the professors, he replied how many people will pay $60 to watch a math class.

[timotheus]

the expectations are lower at arkansas. Better fit there in swineland

I think it was "How often do 60,000 people show up to watch a professor teach."

But your point stands...

A little side note: Bryant refused to be paid more than the UA President during his tenure... I think, for a while there, he made $99,999.99 per year. (the prez made $100k)

Don't forget the Southern Comfort. I used to watch his coaches show on Sunday afternoon. That big ole bag of Goldenflake Chips on that table was hilarious.

Dang Jerry and the Waltons going full Stupid for an Average coach.

Arkansas can / may pay more than 10M..... negotiation tactic. If they want someone more than OM, they'll get him.

[Liverpooldawg]

Is there REALLY a bidding war for the GOAT BOY? As a USC fan I find that absolutely astonishing.

And to think we are missing out on doing the same. What could have gone wrong.

Me too. Crazy

[Maroonthirteen]

In the year 2023, half of their football budget will include paying off ex-coaches.

[Todd4State]

I always found it hilarious how they would strategically open up the bag of chips with Golden Flake facing forward and the bottle of Coke with the logo facing out as well.

He has a point. Football coaches also get fired at a much higher rate than math teachers too. If you don't perform as a football coach it's pretty obvious.

[WPS]

It's sounding like Kiffin may go to Ole Miss instead but LSU did just fine surrounding Orgeron with really good coordinators by doing that. I don't think anyone suddenly thinks he is this great coach lol. But they shelled out money for a great staff.

[Reece Dawg]

I hope he goes to Arky!

Every fall for freshman algebra classes

[confucius say]

Would you rather have kiffin, Napier, norvell, or other?

[yjnkdawg]

If OM hires Kiffin or if AR hires Kiffin, either one in that bidding war, will be forced to over pay his market value in the coaching scene to get him as their head coach.

[msstate7]

Would you rather have kiffin, Napier, norvell, or other?

Well "other" could be saban or Moorhead, so I'll stick with the 3...

1. Norvell
2. Kiffin/Napier tie
